TOY.

Application led February 17, 1923. Serial No. 619,559.

A of the horn. D is the reed of the whistle inserted in a longitudinalchannel I)2 and Ds is the usual lateral opening of a whistle.

To blow out the confetti the whistle plug is removed and the mouthapplied directly to the small end of the horn. Air under pressure buildsup in chamber A8 until the plug D is forced outward compressing theconfetti against the thin closure C which gives way, permitting theconfetti to issue in a cloud. The whistle can then be reinserted in thesmall end of the horn and the device used to make plenty of noise.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:
